It was Spiderman Day a few days ago, so I thought I'd post this WIP I'm not sure I'll finish from May! They're a redraw of sketches I did from a couple years back inspired by a deleted scene from Spiderverse (⌒‿⌒)
I know I haven't been active in a while, but someone reposted some of my recent commissioned art of older!Donnie, so I decided to post up one of them that I liked the most!
(I posted about this on Insta, and I've decided to crosspost here. Read below the cut for info on the situation)
TLDR: we are being evicted after just a 1 year and 7 months in our new apartment and exhausted our resources during our last move. So, support of any kind is endlessly appreciated. I'm keeping my commissions open (link in bio along with my Ko-Fi), but the wait time is N/A. My close friend and I will be hosting a Rise themed Kickstarter as another option for those who want to support and get something in return for their kindness.

(BTW, our landlord owned our old unit too and rumor has it, he’s evicted many other low income tenants like us in the same time span...)
As a low income household, it hits hard. Government aid has kept us afloat as my mom and I attended college full time. It was especially important when our lifestyle had to adapt to my little sister's Mitochondrial disorder diagnosis (it's serious, lifelong and deserves a Google search), and my mother's autoimmune diseases.
We need the aid until my mom settles into a job post graduation and we sort out whether I can be registered as a home aid for my sister. (I went on break from college to help my mom after an invasive shoulder surgery she had in Feb. Financial, college and family health issues are why I’ve extended it.)
Unfortunately, setting up a Crowdfund isn't easy for us. I've researched and it can’t be tied to a bank account in our household. Thankfully, my friend @Mimunaii has offered to help, but because I’d feel wrong not giving back somehow, the Crowdfund will be a Kickstarter. (Regular donations also don’t seem against aid rules).
Reaching out like this on social media is a last resort as I've struggled to find any other options to help with this very serious and stressful situation. Just sharing this post is enough, and no donation is too small for us to be grateful for as we try to save and keep up with bills/costs our aid doesn’t cover. The Kickstarter will be another way to help, but give you something in return for your kindness 💜 (Pet supply wish lists are also linked in my Beacons)
To those who are interested in commissioning me, please be aware that my comm wait times are funky. I thought my break would be calmer compared to 2022 (besides that year's abrupt move, there was also a vet emergency and health scares), but so much has happened in my personal life.
It’s honestly been a struggle mentally and has effected my productivity. However, I am still putting 110% into what I draw for all of my generous clients, and will always do so.
UPDATE: we won an extra year on the lease, but we're still in a rough patch financially.
2 of my pets passed away Feb. 2nd, and it took a mental toll on me after doing everything I could to help them. Even my vet couldn't say for sure why they passed within hours of each other.
It was my senior bun and rescue bun, and since then, I've taken back in 2 of their babies who were being fostered by relatives. (The relatives couldn't keep them after getting a dog, and one of them was back before February.)
Now, any commission payments or donations will also go toward cremating my beloved buns, and spaying/neutering and shots for their babies.
Thank you to everyone who's read this post, and I'm grateful for all the support that's come my way 💜

The turnout for our Zine applications was much bigger than we ever anticipated it would be!
So, we've had to close applications way earlier than planned.
I'm sorry to those of you who've only just seen the application post and wanted to join! But, don't worry- we have more events we want to plan for the future and hopefully that'll give more people a chance to work on fun projects with us (⌒‿⌒)
Surprise! @mimunaii (a dear friend of mine!) and I are proud to announce that we've decided to open a fanzine!
Applications will be open until October 15th, so anyone who's interested will need to read the rules, apply and join our Discord before then! We'll be announcing the deadline for zine pieces on the 16th along with a list of successful applicants.
This zine is open to any and everyone who'd like to make some art with us! And we're excited to see what will come of it (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ
Remember:
- NO NSFW.
- NO HEAVY GORE.
- Canon Characters Only.
